Kota Semarang mengalami peningkatan pergerakan lalu lintas setiap tahunnya, khususnya  Kecamatan Semarang Tengah, yang memiliki fungsi sebagai kawasan pusat perbelanjaan, perdagangan dan jasa, perkantoran, dan pendidikan. Pemerintah Kota Semarang telah berupaya mengatasi permasalahan lalu lintas dengan menerapkan sistem satu arah pada ruas Jalan Gajahmada, Jalan Pandanaran, Jalan MH. Thamrin, Jalan Pemuda, Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Jalan Indraprasta. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran efektivitas atas penerapan sistem satu arah pada ruas jalan tersebut dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan kuantitatif hasil keluaran EMME2 versi 9.5. Hasil dari penelitian ini yakni setelah diterapkannya sistem satu arah masih terdapat ruas jalan yang mengalami penurunan kinerja jalan, yaitu ruas jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan belum sesuai dengan persyaratan fungsi jalan karena lebar badan jalannya hanya 10 meter sedangkan dalam persyaratan untuk fungsi jalan arteri sekunder lebar badan paling sedikit 11 meter, ruas Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean dan Pandanaran nilai DS 0.75 pada waktu sore hari dan berada pada tingkat pelayanan D pada ruas Jalan Pandanaran sedangkan tingkat pelayanan E berada pada ruas Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean. Selain itu, pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Pandanaran masih belum sesuai dengan indikator kinerja sistem jaringan jalan untuk meminimalisasi atau mengurangi ketertundaan total dan panjang perjalanan total karena kecepatan perjalanan menurun dan kapasitas jalan belum mampu menampung beban lalu lintas. Solusi penanganan yang dilakukan adalah nilai DS harus 0.75 dan maksimal menunjukkan ditingkat pelayanan C, Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Jalan Pandanaran, pelebaran jalan 1 meter pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan dan pengaturan off street parking pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Pandanaran. Kata kunci: EMME2 versi 9.5, kinerja sistem jaringan jalan, permasalahan lalu lintas, sistem satu arah.   Performance Analysis of One - Way Roads in Central Semarang District, Semarang : The city of Semarang is experiencing an increase in the movement of traffic every year, especially in Central Semarang District which has a function as a shopping center, trade and service area, office area, and education area. The Semarang City Government has tried to overcome traffic problems by implementing a one - way system on Gajahmada, Pandanaran, MH. Thamrin, Pemuda, Imam Bonjol Selata n, Piere Tendean, and Indraprasta streets . This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the one - way system on the road using the analysis method, which wa s descriptive and quantitative output of EMME2 version 9.5. The re sults showed that after the implementation of one - way system, there was still decreased performance in some roads. The road segment in Imam Bonjol Selatan street had not fulfill the requirements for road functions because the width of the road wa s only 10 meters, mean while according to the requirements for secondary arterial road functions it should be at least 11 meters. The DS value of Piere Tendean and Pandanaran Roads was 0.75 in the afternoon . Furthermore, the level service of Pandanaran Road was D w hile Captain Piere Tendean Road section was E .

The paper gives an overview of researches of foreign scientists to change the driver's reaction time, depending on various road conditions, namely regarding the change of studied magnitude when using traffic-light signalization. Previously, the authors have carried out researches of capacity of road section with traffic light regulation, which allowed to establish the dependence of this parameter from the driver's reaction time. This paper proposes calculation of the road capacity using a variety values of the driver's reaction time derived from the analysis. The values obtained allow us to conclude that the inclusion of psychophysiological characteristics of drivers (such as reaction time) will affect both on road capacity and on the different methods of organization/reorganization of road networks sectors, which use the value of road capacity in their implementation.This article analyzes foreign researches devoted to changing the reaction time of drivers on the road conditions. Besides, the effect of changing the driver's reaction time on capacity of the road network sector with traffic-light control was considered.

This article contributes to the research on the expansion of the Swedish post-war road network by illuminating the role of tourism in addition to political and industrial agendas. Specifically, it examines the “conceptual construction” of the Blue Highway, which currently stretches from the Atlantic Coast of Norway, traverses through Sweden and Finland, and enters into Russia. The focus is on Swedish governmental reports and national press between the 1950s and the 1970s. The article identifies three overlapping meanings attached to the Blue Highway: a political agenda of improving the relationships between the Nordic countries, industrial interests, and tourism. Political ambitions of Nordic community building were clearly pronounced at the onset of the project. Industrial actors depended on the road for the building of power plants and dams. The road became gradually more connected with the view of tourism as the motor of regional development.

The 1960S

The golden age of road demand modeling began in the 1950s and flourished in the 1960s in the face of major road construction needs. These macro models, as well as the econometrics and the data to be processed, were provided mainly by engineers. A division of tasks can be observed between the engineers in charge of estimating the flows within the network and the transport economists in charge of managing these flows once they are on the road network. Yet the inability to explain their decision-making processes and individual drives gave some room to economists to introduce economic analysis, so as to better understand individual or collective decisions between transport alternatives. Economists, in particular Daniel McFadden, began to offer methods to improve the measure of utility linked to transport and to inform the engineering approach. This paper explores the challenges to the boundaries between economics and engineering in road demand analysis.

Accident Statistics

Accident statistics and studies of driving behavior have shown repeatedly that curved roads are hazardous. It was hypothesized that the safety of curves could be improved by indicating in advance the course of the road in a more effective way than do traditional road signs. A code of sequences of stripes put on right edge of the pavement was developed to indicate to the driver the radius of the curve ahead. The main characteristic of this code was the frequency of transitions from code elements to gaps between elements. The effect of these markings was investigated on a driving simulator. Twelve subjects drove on simulated roads of different curvature and with different placement of the code in the approach zone. Some positive effects of the advance information could be observed. The subjects drove more steadily, more precisely, and with a more suitable speed profile.

A novel high-voltage powerline inspection system is investigated, which consists of the cooperated ground vehicle and drone. The ground vehicle acts as a mobile platform that can launch and recycle the drone, while the drone can fly over the powerline for inspection within limited endurance. This inspection system enables the drone to inspect powerline networks in a very large area. Both vehicle’ route in the road network and drone’s routes along the powerline network have to be optimized for improving the inspection efficiency, which generates a new two-layer point-arc routing problem. Two constructive heuristics are designed based on “Cluster First, Rank Second” and “Rank First, Split Second”. Then local search strategies are developed to further improve the quality of the solution. To test the performance of the proposed algorithms, practical cases with different-scale are designed based on the road network and powerline network of Ji’an, China. Sensitivity analysis on the parameters related with the drone’s inspection speed and battery capacity is conducted. Computational results indicate that technical improvement on the inspection sensor is more important for the cooperated ground vehicle and drone system.
